Skada Damage Meter

Skada is a modular damage meter with various viewing modes, segmented fights and customizable windows. It aims to be highly efficient with memory and CPU.

Usage

When you first start using Skada, there will be a window created by default. This window can be extensively customized in Skada's configuration panel; click the little cog icon to access a menu, and then click Configure. Depending on your user interface, there may also be a minimap button allowing quick access to this menu.

Skada supports multiple windows. To create a new window, click Windows in the addon's configuration panel. There are three built-in types of windows - Bar, Inline, and Data text. Bar is the classic damage meter window, and is very customizable. Inline shows the meter in a horizontal line, which can be useful for integration in custom user interfaces. Data text shows just one item at a time, and can also be displayed by any LDB display addon, such as Titan Panel, ChocolateBar, or ElvUI.

In the normal Bar window, you can left click on specific items for more detailed information, and right click for less details. At the very "top" is the list of all saved fight segments. Some data modes have several detailed information views. In this case you choose alternate views by holding certain keys pressed while clicking. For example, in Damage mode, you can Shift-click a player to see what enemies the player caused damage to. Tooltips will display how to reach the different views.

You can also use window buttons for selecting fight segment and mode directly.

Scrolling in Skada is done with the mousewheel.

Plugins

Skada is very easy to extend, and there are many extra plugin addons out there that add functionality, such as:

1.5-6:
Reverted the change to the Total segment. Fingers, you failed me!
Bit of configuration cleanup.
Fixed reverse growth and right to left orientation.

1.5-4:
Added a simply optional frame for the Data text display.
Cleaned up configuration a bit.
Changed the Total segment to not be saved, but recalculated at startup. This fixes an early design flaw (Total was never the sum of all segments, but a separate thing). Fingers crossed there's no breakage...
Greater Blessing of Might and Stormlash is now handled.

1.5-3:
Fixed tooltip not hiding.

1.5-2:
Fix for recent changes.

1.5-1:
Added new Inline display system.
Added new Broker display system.
Fixed Bar display's border settings.
Added Strata option for Bar and Inline displays.
Fixed an issue with debuff uptimes mode giving an error when showing a specific player during a new segment.

1.4-35:
Fix for Soul Effigy.
New "Always show self" option.
Various Legion fixes.

is there anyway to only get the top 5-6 bars to show for a given assignment (ie heals/dps)
currently the entire 25 man shows up for me and I end up only seeing the players with the least healing done.
meaning i see dps players

of course i can scroll up and see the real healers but i was hoping for something to limit players

i currently only have 6 bars showing and after a fight is over im looking at dps players 19-25 instead of healers 1-6

sorry, I can't get the Skada Threat Meter to work, Damage Meter works fine. I also applied the threat combat mode in the options. But it simple shows nothing. In the titlebar it show's the name of teh target, but no threatbars or anything...

The window appears when you join a battleground, even if the option "hide in pvp" is enabled.

I don't have that issue, but rather after you joined a BG, it doesn't switch back to enabled afterwards, not either if you join a party/raid while you are in a BG and you exit it. Have to reload/relog for it to track again -.-"
